We will not cover websites, blogging, wikis and twitter today but you may find the following useful
Websites
I use http://www.weebly.com which has a school version and includes basic blogging capabilities. The school version allows for each child to have their own area.
Blogging
I use Blogger - www.blogger.com but block the comments or, preferably, have them moderated with everything coming to you and/or other adults before it can be published.
Wordpress http://wordpress.org/ offers even more flexiblity and is suitable if you are willing to invest more time to getting to know its capabilities.
This has also been recommended to me - http://kidblog.org
Again your VLE or website might include blogging capabilities.
Wikis
I am using Wikispaces for Educators http://www.wikispaces.com/content/for/teachers - excellent and very intuitive.
I use Twitter for CPD purposes - @JuliaBhamICT for work purposes.
In school it is useful but needs to be carefully used, some interesting ideas here-https://docs.google.com/present/view?id=dhn2vcv5_118cfb8msf8 and useful advice.
Or to use something like twitter but keep it within the class and parents try http://www.twiducate.com
